i am lonely will anyone speak to me

Holy crap. I miss my family really badly. I am the oldest of 11 going on 12 kids, andtheyall live very far away. I am all by myself in NYC, and I know I’m not so bad off, I do have some friends, and if I really wanted to go home, I could, though I know it sucks there, they are in such bad financial shape and there is so little I can do to help from here...I know I could do even less for them there.

My boyfriend dumped me and I almost got fired at work today, though I did get my job back. I don’t know why I feel so bad when there really are people who care about me. But I do feel horribly lonely. I know I could get into another realationship - in fact, I do have a date for thurs, but I’m not even sure what I want anymore - whether I am too picky, or not picky enough.

Anyway, I am feeling very, very lonely tonight, lonely enough to google loneliness - I wonder how many times google gets that...much love to all of you out there, we are kindred spirits - we are probably not as desperate or lonely as we think....

I got married at 20, and am already alone again, I am listening to Bettie Sevreet and thinking of my husband...

She had 3 more lovers, but they all got cold feet
and I know that there were others, but she’s so discreet

Yet a wave of his hand’s enough to get her back again
She made it through highschool and she got a degree
and I know in different ways she’s a lot smarter than me
Yet a wave of his hand’s enough to get her back again

I dispise every word that he speaks,
'cos he tries to make her feel weak
And he’ll put her down in public and he treats her like a child
but he’ll never make a lapdog out of something so wild

Yet a wave of his hand’s enough to get her back again
Yet a wave of his hand’s enough to get her back again
And I tried to convince her, to make it on her own

But she’s afraid to be a spinster, afraid to be alone
Yet a wave of his hand.............

hmm i hate google -i though wehn i type i am lonely i would find no results concerning my situation but damn i just fallen from nowhere right into this thread -crazy thing- I want to be lonely forever that is -i am just doomed -no one or nothing can help me- only the love can take me- to take me to the realm of sins

Lonely (lonely), lonely (lonely)
Lonely is the man, who walks alone
And lonely is the man, who has no home
And lonely, lonely, lonely am I
I am so lonely, wish I could die (lonely)
I asked the Lord up above (lonely)
What is this thing, mortals call love
And why can’t I have one of my own
I am so lonely, so all alone

Lonely is the bird, without a tree
And lonely is the sailor, without the sea
I asked the Lord up above (lonely)
What is this thing, mortals call love
And why can’t I have one of my own
I am so lonely, so all alone

I was reading one of the posts at this site a few hours ago. It said a good thing to do was just go out walking. So I did and walked until I ended up on the main strip in the city, all bright lights and hundreds of people having fun. Nothing worse. But then I happened to bump into a friend of a friend of mine and his friend. We stood around talking about nothing for a while. I suddenly felt a lot less lonely. So, yeah, point is getting out of the house worked for me.

I’m liking the whole thing where people who find this are starting to talk about why they’re lonely. I suppose it might make us feel better. I’m not THAT lonely though. I came here during the summer when I was actually feeling pretty down. I have my reasons! hehe But maybe we shouldn’t worry so much about being lonely, maybe we should just get on with things.

loneliness. what do you do when you feel at your loneliest point? is it just me or do you get that real empty feeling inside and even if people are around you, it doesnt make any difference? please talk to me.

*sigh* I am lonely too. What a big f’d up world this is. Often I wish I were a kid again where friendships could be started over a new toy or video game, or even on a jungle gym. Now the world feels fake, like everyones wearing a mask. Its as if no one is real anymore.

re: I hate life.....That empty feeling inside is haunting, like you have died inside and you are nothing but a shell of your former self going through the motions. I know it well. not too long ago I went to a concert with a couple old friends...should have been all kinds of fun, but almost as soon as it started that feeling crept all over me, in the midst of hundreds of people I felt alone. I wish I had the answer. All I have to offer is my little trick for getting by...come up with a thought, or saying, or anything that makes you smile, or inspires you. When you feel down or “haunted” as I like to call it, just keep saying it to yourself. You can use mine...I just repeat to myself “up” as in “think up thoughts”, make your mind higher, not lower, never lower, always up. My friend got me onto this...his is “At least I’m not Michael Jackson” which always makes me smile as well.

I too am very lonely. I feel you, Isi. I often wish I was a kid again as well, as I can honestly say my life was 100 times better as a child growing up than it has been since age 13 to now (21). It’s like a cold slap in the face when innocence is taken away from life and replaced with ignorance, racism, and fake smiles.

My family is great. My parents have worked so hard to ensure I have everything I want in life, and my brother is my best friend. But I can’t honestly say that I have another friend in this entire world that I can count on. If I died today, my mom, dad, and brother would be the only ones attending the funeral or even giving a damn. That’s a painful feeling.

I too have that empty feeling. I’m 21 years old with no friends and never been in a relationship with a woman. Writing on message boards is my escape, but at age 21, I don’t know how much longer I can get away with it. I don’t want to be in my 30’s and 40’s with this same feeling. I know rejection like the back of my hand, and I’m tired of it.

Will this feeling go away? I hope so. If any good came out of this, it’s that I appreciate my family more than anything in this world. Appreciate what you have at home. Trust me.

I Googled here too. Seems to me everyone feels lonely sometime in their life. Be it that homesick kind of longing lonely. Or the oppressive, soul crushing isolation of depression. In the modern world, where technology connects us to people we will never meet, who may not even exist, it’s easy to feel alone. If people connected with others more in the real world, and took an interest and cared about the lives of those around them, maybee we wouldn’t all feel so desparately alone...
